Anything is
Druggable
with Quantum Accuracy
They support us:
Qubit Pharmaceuticals brings unparalleled accuracy and precision to drug discovery and design, using quantum physics to develop life-changing treatments for major diseases.
No target
is undruggable
Our proprietary technologies, the fruit of over 30 years of research, make it possible to develop novel drug candidates and innovative modes of action against targets previously considered too complex.
Atlas
Our ultra-high resolution drug design platform, Atlas, enables drug hunters to discover, optimize & validate drug candidates and carry out complex computations at scale, on any hardware, whether on-premises or on the cloud.
polarizable force fields
State of the art last generation models, such as AMOEBA, reaching chemical accuracy included in ATLAS.
Sirius
Cutting-edge AI & Machine Learning solutions for efficient generative and predictive modeling of small molecules.
TINKER-HP
Fastest and most scalable Molecular Dynamics Software for polarizable force fields, accelerating AMOEBA calculations by a factor >100,000x.
Hyperion
Proprietary Quantum Simulation Platform. Development of next generation algorithms for quantum chemistry & drug discovery.
Gaia
Gaia is our 200 GPU supercomputer, created in collaboration with global leader Nvidia.
By marrying the best hardware technology to cutting-edge software, Atlas is able to carry out computations at scale with quantum accuracy to discover new drugs.
1000+
nanoseconds
1000ns of MD simulation per day with polarizable force fields
30+
qubits
Hybrid HPC-QC ready for computations over 30 qubits
Behind every target deemed too complex is a real patient with unmet needs.
We are developing novel drugs to cure life-threatening diseases, with a primary focus on oncology, inflammation and pandemic response.
We have multiple fully owned & partnered programs in discovery and are pursuing a broad pipeline of additional targets.
We actively shift the paradigm in drug discovery from drug hunting to drug farming.

One team, one mission, infinite ambition
Based in Paris and Boston, our team of over 60 people is made up of over 18 different nationalities. We are a diverse mix of various expertise, backgrounds and perspectives. Our mission? We pioneer quantum-aided drug discovery and leverage cutting-edge science to design novel molecules for complex targets.
Developing better drugs, together
Drug discovery is very much a team effort. We are always looking to explore ways to develop novel treatments to cure major diseases.
We’re looking for partners to co-develop our drug discovery programs. We’re also keen to evaluate the possibility to jointly accelerate existing drug discovery programs or unlock complex targets with the support of Atlas and our drug discovery team.
We’re interested in expanding our portfolio in inflammation and oncology. We’re seeking for novel targets with ideally a crystal structure available, PDX and/or patient lines available and a lab stage assay. Prior demonstration of druggability is not mandatory.
